Auction Action: Texas Chevys SOLD! Collection of 1955-57 cars, trucks, Fords, Cadillacs, & Signs! 

I began my 38 Year Career in the Automotive Industry in 1967 as a Salesman for Pierre's Motors in Portland Oregon. We only sold imported Cars, ( Renault, Rover, MG, Austin, Lotus and Marcos., so every domestic trade in was wholesaled to another dealer. Part of the reason I think now was the owner needed the cash inflow. I wholesaled 1957 through 1959 Chrysler Imperials for under $30.00 to Don Lee. Those has the Balanced and Printed 392 Hemi's from the Factory. A perfect 56' Bel Air 2 door Post in blue and white tu tone for $358.oo, and a 67 Shelby Mustang 350 with a wing in lime green for $2300. These were all nice driving Cars. Retailed a dark Blue '68 P0rsche 912 with under 50k miles for $4800. Who Knew??

That C10 and the hubcaps were the best deals of the day

SAVE THEM ALL. Joe loves that LTD.

These videos are never boring! On the contrary, they are uplifting 👍

Cool sale.

The "Rust Ranch" has a nice collection of stuff. Can't wait to see the video if it ever dries up

Cool photo with bidding on 57 Bel-Air at begining of sale including the hood rocket from the adjacent 57 in forground

I’m not a Government Motors fan but you make these auctions interesting.

That 57 Chevy 4 door you bought was just like my first car I bought as a teenager in 1971, it was 14-year-old car, running and driving with no rust, I paid $200. for it, wish I could have kept it.

Also like how you've shortened the auctioneers cadence down to 5-10 seconds before the item sells, gives time to show more items during the sale, really enjoy your channel

Some sweet projects there 🤘

Thanks for showing us the auction . Joe jumped right into his new 72 Ford front seat then had to try out the back seat . You are a good friend .

Man that's one hot sale!

I forgot about the bumper rules in '73 and '74. You are very knowledgeable. Hope people start saving 70s-90s vehicles.

A lot of cars for sure Tim ,, awesome auction , thanks for sharing it …

Fine collection of scrap.

Liked the power steering setup on the 1957 Chevy.🙂

Wow, some great deals there!

My dad had a 2door hard top like that LTD when I was a kid, loved that car!

Mr Goodpliers you provide such a wealth of knowledge about these old cars you really should call the body styles by their correct names. The cars with B pillars are Sedans regardless of the number of doors. The manufacturers never called them posts. That tortured description came from guys my age back in the 70’s who couldn’t find the high school library to read an automotive publication if their life depended on it. Please afford the cars, their manufactures, the stylists, and all the other wonderful people who were involved in the creation of these cars the historical accuracy they deserve. Love your videos. I get to see things I’d otherwise never get to see.

You already know the difference between the 1971 and 72 LTD, but there is one thing I'll add. The 1971 had 3 piece taillights running across the back, all of which lit up. The 1972 also had 3 piece lights but the centre section did not light up as it served as a reflector only.

Love your auction videos....they give us "Put them back on the road" car guys a good Idea what things sell for. So we know what to go by when we are bidding. Thanks Man.

Another dog that showcased his self ! .. Wonderful White Lab. .. Joe needs to study up on GMs power steering pump/generator. .. Also... 1957 fenders hid an air tunnel that flowed from the headlight bezels to the Heater box. (another thing that few knew about). Anyways.. Nice video.. Thanks Mr Goodpliers

nise to see those old chevys going to good homes

Dude crazy prices on some of these ole rides

Thanks,that was a great video!!!!,some real good buys !!!!

James Bond drove a 57 Sport Sedan in the first movie. It was a taxi cab that he stole. Best looking car of all the 55 56 57s.

New Yorker was advertised and a 1974. It was actually a 1973. Got pretty excited that it was a 1973. Last year for the fuselage body style! Now have 1969 and 1973 New Yorker 4 doors. Both green and white!! Both will be back on the highway soon. Thank you for mentioning my intentions with the car in your video. Thanks Tim. 😊 Was very nice to finally meet you. Keep the videos coming.

Fun video, great that Joe liked the cars. I went to high school in the early 70s and my history teacher had a Ford similar to the LTD you bought. Nice car he bought new right around that time.Killer assortment of Tri-5s also. I was at our Polar Bear swap meet last weekend and a guy had a set of doors for a 57 Sport Sedan same Matador Red even. Thanks, you and Silas are doing great work

Great video what a collection of stuff I’m sure you wish you could bring more home. Texas is a good place to find old cars, they just get baked from the sun. Thanks for the video.

I had a 72 LTD and you are correct on the bumpers

For 1986 Texas had its sesquicentennial plates. They had dark blue letters and numbers with the outline of the state between them. I think at one point Ford had LTD, Galaxie, and then the lowest trim was the Custom.

The '57 looks like a cool car. Hopefully she will get restored, no ugly modern ventilator shaped wheels.

Man that stuff sold Cheap!

I can imagine Joe when he was a kid. Seems like the type that got in to everything he shouldn’t, Mom- “ Joe, don’t touch that.” “ Joe, leave that alone” “ Joe, you’ll break that” “ stay where I can see you” lol!

There is also a 63 impala photo of a 50 millionth chevy.

The and your best since Model T Haven Job well done

Great auction Nice buys Tim Give me a CALL

Diggin the LTD !

The resevor on the gen. thats a power steering pump. a power brake car would have a treadle vac unit attached to the fenderwell. and used engine vacuum. the weak point on a 4 dr htp is the center support post. on rusty cars open the rear door and it would fall off. Restodan was happy to get that gold 55

whatdid the 55/56 packard go for? then i seent a 58 buick too...

Joe has good taste in cars

$100 road runner (body) ida been all over that

I noticed the Roadrunner had cement blocks in the trunk for counter weight. Blocks had more value than the car body.AL B.

Speaking of "soupy".....Joe could use a few loads of gravel at the Rust Ranch !

Sometimes when I watch these videos I think I should just burn my money. i might pay some of these prices in Canadian money. The 57 Chev at 6:10 is only worth $500.

Cowl tags on 57s were behind the distributor (v8) earlier cars below heater valve on later cars. That was a power brake car new.

How much did the Magnolia sign go for up on the wall?

Way too many crazy high prices on the 55 - 57's in very rough condition. This is why I avoid these big auctions, too many Bidders with more money than sense.You "might" get an ok deal every now and then but overall it's just mass lunacy.

What does plus premium mean?

I seen some of them say so old and they give a price and they say Plus premium.. what is that like paperwork

How much are the "Premiums?"Sure would be slicker if you could start each sale about 5 seconds away from the winning bid. Go quicker.

Hi looking for doors for a 2dr left and right sides in good shape for 56 chevy,whats your price.

Whats the difference between a 2 door wagon and a nomad?

Joe's 57 did it have factory tented windows?

Thank so so much for editing out that irritating auctioneer with his rapid stuttering Elmer Fudd delivery, three minutes of his bbbbbbbbb… 240bbbbbb 245bbbbb 240… has me tearing out my hair 😂

Had to stop, that auctioneer souded like a bubble in the bath!

Could that ‘56 Army sedan have been a drivers ed car for the army? They must have had some soldiers who couldn’t drive…?

Not to be rude but this smells of one of those. I'll get to it sometime before I die.

Do you know what that Rocket ship arcade went for

No rocket kiddie ride sale price?? What a jip.

So who ended up with the gold colored Chevy?

thy this on half speed.

Big money for lots of junk.

Are most cars sold w/o engines? Sure going cheap…

What in the devil causes all that rust down in Texas? Do they salt the roads?

Engines expensive, cars not so much…

Total junk if these cars were free they would be to much . It will cost more to restore them then buying a nice one running .

i heard about this auction on faceboojk wild

Nice scam…..sell the shells for 1 price then sell all the doors and hoods from those shells separately.

The illegally stack loading goon at thirty eight fifty four will be stopped & happily written up for highly unsafe loading and stupidly risking crushing the junkers roof on the back with the right bump that rotting roof won't take the weight. Nutty & desperate nuts at these junk grounds.

those old 55-57 chevys are not worth much anymore .young people dont want them .
